Christmas Carols
When The Crimson Sun Had Set Lyrics
1. When the crimson sun had set
Low behind the wintry sea,
On the bright
And cold midnight
Burst a sound of heavenly glee:
[Chorus:]
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
2. Shepherds watching by their fold,
On the crisp and hoary plain,
In the sky
Bright hosts espy,
Singing in a gladsome strain. [Chorus]
3. Where the manger crib is laid,
In the city fair and free,
Hand in hand,
This shepherds band
Worship Christ on bended knee. [Chorus]
4. Join with us in welcome song,
Ye who in Christ's Home abide,
Sing the Love
Of God above,
Shown at happy Christmas-tide. [Chorus]
